Psalms 141

Psalm 141
A psalm of David.
1I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me;
hear me when I call to you.
2May my prayer be set before you like incense;
may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.
3Set a guard over my mouth, Lord;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
4Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil
so that I take part in wicked deeds
along with those who are evildoers;
do not let me eat their delicacies.
5Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head.
My head will not refuse it,
for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.
6Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,
and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.
7They will say, “As one plows and breaks up the earth,
so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave.”
8But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord;
in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.
9Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers,
from the snares they have laid for me.
10Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by in safety.

Tehillim (Psalms) 141
141
1יהוה, I have cried out to You; Hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.
2Let my prayer be prepared before You as incense, The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
3O יהוה, set a guard for my mouth; Watch over the door of my lips.
4Let not my heart be inclined to evil, To practise deeds of wrongness With men working wickedness, And let me not eat of their delicacies.
5Let the righteous one smite me Or reprove me in loving-commitment – It is oil on my head. Let my head not refuse it. My prayer is still against their evil deeds.
6Their judges have been thrown down By the sides of the rock, But they have heard my words, For they have been pleasant.
7Our bones are scattered at the mouth of She’ol, As when one ploughs and breaks up the earth.
8But my eyes are upon You, O Master יהוה. In You I take refuge; Do not pour out my life.
9Guard me from the clutches Of the trap they have laid for me, And from the snares Of the workers of wickedness.
10Let the wrong fall into their own nets, While I pass by.
